A Cosmic Clash Like No Other!

In an extraordinary breakthrough, scientists in the U.S. have unveiled the largest-known merger of two black holes, captured by sophisticated gravitational wave detectors.

This monumental event, recorded on November 23, 2023, was a highlight at this year's International Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation held in Glasgow, UK.

What Are Black Holes?

Black holes are mysterious cosmic entities, regions of space where massive amounts of matter are compressed into a tiny volume. This astonishing density creates an overwhelming gravitational force from which nothing—not even light—can escape.

Since black holes emit no light, they remain invisible to conventional detection methods. Scientists believe these enigmatic structures form when colossal stars exhaust their nuclear fuel and collapse under their own gravity.
